Timberwolves spell out ways they can be a more mature team this season

One of the defining moments of the Timberwolves' 2022-23 season was the one-two punch that happened in the final regular season game against New Orleans: Rudy Gobert taking a swing at teammate Kyle Anderson, a move that resulted in the team suspending Gobert for the subsequent play-in game loss against the Lakers.

Around the same time that day, forward Jaden McDaniels punched a wall in a tunnel near the Wolves bench and broke his hand, ending his season. Maybe the Wolves' playoff path would have been different if Gobert was around for the play-in game or the team's best perimeter defender has been available for any of the postseason.
